2017 was quite the year for GA and it sounds like 2018 will be even better. Thank you doesn't seem to be enough for all that Myr and crew do for the site, but it will have to do. So thank you to all involved in running the site It's nice to see that past anthologies will be featured and promoted on a regular basis. There are some real gems hidden in the anthos. And yay for more Myr writing!
